Hour 2
(It's been several years since I last spoke with KT. I liked her instantly last time. She was brash and aggressive and no-bullshit. She still has those traits, but she's also more centered, more serene. Her intensity comes from confidence now, not insecurity. Love that.)

Hour 3
(It's funny to me now how super-shy Andy Bell was when we first met so many years ago. It's also funny to me how terrified I was to speak with him. I was a diehard fan of Erasure, and Andy was my equivalent to Adam Lambert for so many these days. He epitomized fearlessness and a willingness to be himself, despite the fact that the world wasn't particularly interested in someone SO gay. What is funniest to me now is that Andy and I are actual friends. We talk off-mic regularly. He's a dear fellow. Funny, irreverent, and anything but shy. I adore him.)
